The Rubber Egg
MATERIALS:   a raw egg (with shell)
                             vinegar
                              small jar with lid
PROCEDURE:  1.  Fill the jar about half way
                                  with the vinegar.
                             2.  Carefully place the egg
                                   in the jar and put the lid
                                   on the jar.
                              3.  Check the egg 24 hours
                                    later. 
                                    What has happened??
EXPLANATION:  The acid in the vinegar combined chemically with the calcium in the egg shell.  As the calcium was removed, the shell became soft and rubbery.
Now try this:
Instead of an egg, place some clean chicken
bones in a jar of vinegar, and observe the bones after 48 hours.  Now tie the bones in a knot, allow them to dry, and impress your friends with bones that are tied in a knot!!
